OH! I heard you wanted to see what my house looks like!

So here's the thing. Brian and I are lucky enough to live in a 3 bedroom 2 bathroom HOUSE! It's really great....we have wayyyy too much room.

Come stay

We're thinking about holding gymnastics classes in our living room.

Brian's parents own the house.

The deal was...we paint the WHOLE house in exchange for cheap rent.
Let me tell you...painting is the worst. 

Especially the ceilings. 

But we're basically done and decorated so here are a few pics!!! (it's much cuter in person. trust me)

Living Room:

Told ya it's huge...pull out the leotards friends

 Kitchen...not too exciting

 Dining room table with no chairs :)

 Here's my bathroom...it's small so hard to get a great pic. Just notice the green and blue tiles...they're great.

The 2 spare rooms, the master bedroom and spare bath aren't pictured cause they're just not that exciting.

Well the master bedroom is exciting...just kinda messy at the moment.

PS....it costs a ton to heat this place 

(that means we're ALWAYS freezing and sleeping in chill chasers, socks, sweatshirts and 10 blankets), 

and yes we did paint-mostly just creamish :/ 

and also there are too many spiders in this place.

Happy Tuesday :D :D

I know, I know

I thought this might happen.  When my dull life of full time work consisting of tasks that could be done in 20 minutes, but stretched out to 8 hrs ended, so would my blogging. 

I didn't want it to come to this but school has taken over my life. end of the story.

To  make up for my lack of blogging here are some pictures of my husband (from the first week of September, don't worry about it)

Also here's what else we've been up to:

School

Work

Tests

More school

Buying some steak

Being sick :(

Hopefully I'll keep this blogging business up. 

introducing...

The newest member of the Topham family

Phantom Scoot Ma-Goot Topham

Scoot for short

We just can't get enough of her (Brian thinks she's a him but he's wrong)

She saves us so much money and we feel cooler than everyone else on the road when we take her out

She's dependable and is the perfect addition!

So everybody...let's have a round of applause for Scoot Topham!!!

Happy Thursday!

Off to Idaho for a wedding tomorrow...should be fun :D

PS...Scoot is the treat I was referring to on Monday



fail

We had a definite fishing fail this weekend.

We took a trip to Utah Lake (and sweated in the heat for roughly 2 hours) just to watch some fish jump 5 inches from our poles. Such a tease.

I gave up pretty fast and spread Mexican Blanket (Brian's smelly blanket from Mexico that has a permanent home in the back of the car) out on the sand to do some reading which I did enjoy.

Not only did the fishing fail but so did our picnic dinner. The miracle whip was to warm for me to eat by the time we got there so I had to throw my sandwich in the lake when Brian wasn't looking (except it floated back to the shore :/). I had munchies for dinner instead.

Finally after we sweated a little too much Brian said we could go home!

Here are some fishless pictures:

THE CUTEST!

Brian scammed out of this "funny" pic right at the last second. mean.



Stay tuned...you're in for a real treat later this week!
